Here is a SHIPPING MEME

[schmerica]

Six ships I like

1. John/Aeryn (Farscape)
2. Fraser/Kowalski (due South)
3. Barney/Robin (How I Met Your Mother)
4. Hope/Curtis (Twitch City)
5. Duck/Dan (Wilby Wonderful)
6. Batgirl/Robin (DC universe)

Three Ships I Used To Like But Don't Anymore

7. Clark/Lex (Smallville)
8. Cristina/Burke (Grey's Anatomy)
9. Ephram/Colin (Everwood)

Three Ships I Don't Like

10. John/Rodney (Stargate: Atlantis)
11. Ray/Ray (due South)
12. Duck/Buddy (Wilby Wonderful)

Two Ships I'm Curious About

13. Pete/Patrick (Fall Out Boy)
14. Gibbs/Abby (NCIS)

1. Why do you dislike #11 so much? (Ray/Ray)

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

No, wait, I'm good.

--AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHA.

*wheezes* Okay. I'm okay now, for real. The thing is, I have written about eight million entries about my distaste for this pairing in the past. It doesn't make sense to me, it leaves out my favorite character, it makes me SAD, and I just hate it. Hate hate hate.

2. Who is someone you know that ships #13? (Pete/Patrick)

ficbyzee! Underline, bolded and strikethrough!

3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3 (Barney/Robin)

Oh, god. They're going to suit up! And hang out! And Ted goes off with Your Mom, and Marshall and Lily are together, and then they'll have sex, and eventually they're going to realize they've been in love all this time without ever REALIZING it, and BOTH Of them will freak out, but in the end it will all end HAPPILY and they will be otp forever.

4. Which is your favorite episode for #1? Try to pick just one. (John/Aeryn)

eeeeeeeee TOO MANY CHOICES. Um. Okay. *bites fist* Meltdown has the hot hot hot making out, but I can't help it, I'm a total sap and it makes me cry more than anything ever ever ever -- I'll go with Dog With ZTwo Bones.

5. How long have you been following couple #6? (Batgirl/Robin)

Last summer, I guess.

6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring? (Cristina/Burke)

Aw, I don't know. Their plotlines in s3 have just been much less likable, you know? Burke in general has gone from seeming like the best guy ever in s2 to just a cranky unfair jerk this season. I can't tell how much about that is related to the Isaiah Washington stuff, however.

7. Which ship do you prefer - #2 or #4? (Fraser/Kowalski or Hope/Curtis)

F/K FOREVER!

8. You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from #10 or #12. (John/Rodney or Duck/Buddy)

Omigod, the POWER. SO MUCH POWER. *undoes all of SGA fandom*

9. What interests you about #14? (Gibbs/Abby)

Man, I don't know, it's just so many of my kinks with the daddy-figure and they love each other so much and HUGS and .... bweeee. Father-figure/girl kink, yes. *draws heart*

10. When did you stop liking #7? (Clark/Lex)

Eh, I stopped watching Smallville in season 3, and as I left the fandom I suddenly felt, like, incredibly allergic to everything about it. I can't reread any of the stories I loved then.

11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show? (Ephram/Colin)

Not really, because after that the cuteness of Ephram/Bright happened! I didn't get out of the show until later.

12. What's a song that reminds you of #5? (Duck/Dan)

Magnetic Fields, "100,000 Fireflies."

13. Which of these ships do you love the most?

I ... oh this is hard. John/Aeryn is my OTP to end all OTPs for the rest of the universe forever? But F/K is probably the most truly beloved.

14. Which do you dislike the most?

John/Rodney.

15. If you could have any of these two pairings double date, who would it be? (even better if they're from different shows)

Barney/Robin and Hope/Curtis. Because it's wrong in so very very many ways.

16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if you'd like. (Fraser/Kowalski)

Buddy breathing TOTALLY counts.

17. Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely? (Hope/Curtis)

Living in the unfinished attic totally poor with nothing but a blanket and a TV? Well, they have EACH OTHER, so ... yes.

18. What would make you start shipping #14? (Gibbs/Abby)

Huh. I actually have no idea. NCIS doesn't inspire heavy shipping in me, because the relationships come out in the details, rather than a major focus on them.

19.If only one could happen, which would you prefer - #2 or #6? (Fraser/Kowalski or Batgirl/Robin)

FRASER/KOWALSKI PLEASE. (kiss on screen! kisses!)

20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them? (John/Rodney)

Um. They go onto a dinosaur world and get stomped on. I don't actually want to be in charge of their fate, because I don't care.

Now I can't stop thinking of Barney/Robin and Hope/Curtis on a double date.

Man, you are so totally my favoritest.

[speshope.livejournal.com]

I concur that this idea is like two parts intriguing and one part just damn hilarious.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I was just telling Amy on AIM that it's like, Hope/Curtis on a double date with anyone? Hilarious. Robin/Barney on a double date with anyone? Hilarious. The combination of both of these things TOGETHER? Totally unbeatable.

[speshope.livejournal.com]

And and with Curtis being wholly anti social and Barney being wholly oversocial and both Hope and Robin seemingly normal but really really not at all. *waves hands around vaguely*

HA HA HA.

I'm serious, dude! I mean, at least with the other ships I don't like in this meme, I care about the individual characters AS PEOPLE? But with SGA, yeah, no. With Ray/Ray I could fake a big elaborate sequence of events to control their fate and show my rage, but I don't have the ENERGY here.

(Barney/Robin)

YES! YES! pumps fist in the air YES! Dude, they are SO MADE FOR EACH OTHER! That one time he showed up in her apartment and thought they were going to have sex and then they didn't and I I I ROBIN YOU ARE NOT "YOUR MOTHER" SO MOVE ON TO SWARLEY!!!!

(you just know Marshall would pull #2 of the Slap Bet in lieu of a toast at Barney and Robin's wedding)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY, man! Like, every single person I know who watches this show is shipping the two of them. If the show never goes there later on, there are going to be so very many disappointed viewers!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

The possibilities for how this could go are ENDLESS - does Robin dump Ted for Barney? If so, how would they get past that? Does Ted dump Robin because he thinks Robin is falling for Barney but she insists that she isn't and then in spite she goes to use Barney for sex but Barney has fallen for her and she only then picks up that she's fallen for him? Does Barney convince Robin that Ted's wrong for her and get her to break up with Ted because he (Barney) wants her for himself? Does Robin realize that, as much as she loves Ted, she was right from the start when she said she wasn't the kind of person who wanted marriage and kids, and that this whole thing was only going to end in tears anyway, and so she breaks it off? And does she later realize that Barney is perfect for her because he doesn't want any kind of commitment either, but Barney, with his bizarro set of Barneyworld rules, won't sleep with her because he never has sex with Those of Ted? So Robin is all bouncing around NYC but now Barney is fixated on her? HOW WILL IT GO!? WHO DO I TALK TO ABOUT THIS!?

WHY DON'T I HAVE A HIMYM ICON!?

This amused me! Also--

Um. They go onto a dinosaur world and get stomped on. I don't actually want to be in charge of their fate, because I don't care.

I don't even want to imagine what you would do to Ray/Ray. The pairing, I mean. Because I know you would not hurt Ray or Ray. Only Ray/Ray.

::leaves the field, having achieved incoherency::

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*giggles* See, at least I kind of do at least CARE about Ray/Ray? So I guess I would be able to think up some kind of scenario there that would be interesting! But I am choosing not to pursue the thought, because again: sad!pearl.

[ficbyzee.livejournal.com]

Patrick is an IPOD full of his FAVORITE SONGS, schmerica.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*giggles and cuddles*

[inmyriadbits.livejournal.com]

By Batgirl/Robin, I assume you mean the Dick Grayson Robin? Because these things are important. *nods*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

No! My terminology is actually carefully chosen, because I ship Batgirl/Robin in GENERAL. Like, Babs/Dick and Tim/Cass and Cass/Steph are my favorites, but really any permutation of a Batgirl and a Robin count under my overarcing OTPness.

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

omigoodness. i was not aware of the power of your hatred for sga. the show is, indeed, crap. but the fic is not. imo, john/rodney fic is its own excellent fandom. i know i'm not going to convince you to like it but... eh. just sayin'. :)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Oh, my hatred isn't for SGA the show, which I actually did enjoy on occasion. My hatred is just for the pairing, which despite my knowing it is written by super good people, is one of my alltime squicks. I'm seriously irrational about it, it's awful -- like, it makes me ANGRY. Hee.

10. John/Rodney (Stargate: Atlantis)

YAY, so glad it's not just me.

Also - Gibbs/Abby: YES!
